? Monitoring, assessment, and improvement of species and habitats conservation status of

community importance;

? Efficient management of protected areas, including Natura 2000 sites.

Further, local communities territorial plans should take in account the goals of the protected area that
have included territories from their land.

Climate change adaptation, risk prevention and management suppose:

? Non-structural measures to mitigate the risks generated by climate change, such as floods,
droughts, completed with infrastructure projects such as river arrangements and dams;
